Much of the plastic “collected” for recycling is neatly gathered and then thrown in the nearest clean ocean or wherever it is out of sight, hurting animals, polluting nature, and even us when you zoom out and look at the big picture.
So my question is, why not put it where it’s most inconvenient? Where it hurts businesses and government bodies? Where it’s so bad they can’t ignore it? They’d have no choice but to ban it or heavily regulate it.
Walmart entrances blocked by several dozen emptied bags of plastic garbage, seriously what are they gonna do about it?
Streets full of old tires? Seriously what would they do? Tell us not to throw plastic out? And “please please put it in the garbage instead,” where it collects in trash islands?
“Oh but what if they just leave it there”
No, not if you get creative.
How is it nonsense? Lol if it was nonsense, we wouldn’t have to throw heaps of trash around, not to mention a country-wide ban or heavy restrictions on plastics is far much more effective at reducing pollution than recycling, which for the record. You dumbass, are only at most about 80% recycled, “at most” meaning that it normally and often does get discarded at rates of 50% if not much more. This is also the “reported” recycled materials, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they were lying, would not be the first time.
This isn’t even getting into garbage disposed plastics.
Maybe don’t do what I’m suggesting if you live in like, I don’t know, Germany or South Korea.
Because they’d be throwing away money since they get paid by the ton depending what material
Because that’s the usual outcome of trolls.
